:: Motor City Visit
Ken Grundberg is doing the groundwork to start a Free Geek in metro
Detroit. Ken drove to South Bend for a visit, to get ideas and look at
what he is getting himself into. He took the fifty cent tour and snapped
pictures. We talked and joked.
Ken has not applied for affiliate or franchise status -- it is too early
in the game. He is doing the necessary planning and networking. I look
forward to FGM collaborating with Ken and helping him jump start the
Motor City Free Geek.
Gentlemen, start your engines.
:: eBay Offerings
Kevin photographed some communications equipment and an 8-port KVM
switch to sell on eBay. Kevin says eBay has changed their requirements
since he last put FGM gear for sale on his account. First, he was told
by a friend that all sellers MUST now use PayPal. Kevin prefers money
orders and other forms of cash. Second, he is not sure what the eBay
imposed fees are now and how they are paid. Chuq said the eBay "tax" is
28 percent of all transactions.
:: Printers Donated
Forest ran into Henry D., and Henry donated a dozen HP Laserjet 5/6
printers. Forest stacked them on a pallet for testing. We will donate
the printers which don't test good to another organization.
:: Perley Hispanic-only Class
Chuq volunteered to instruct the next FreeBox class, and Kevin will
assist. Forest will let us use his digital projector and projection
screen. I will write a narration for my introduction to FGM presentation
which is in OO Impress format. I showed the presentation to Chuq.
Goose counted FreeBoxes, and we have seven. We need one more FreeBox and
then match them all to monitors, keyboards and mice for the class. Kevin
took responsibility for preparing the FreeBoxes next Thursday and
Tuesday. Phil, Andre and Goose said they would help.
